157b. They have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture;
and they slew him not for certain-
158. But Allah took him up unto Himself. And Allaah is
ever Mighty, Wise.
159. And there is not one of the People of the Scripture
but believe in him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will
be a witness against them.

Commentary
‘Azzannu - (conjecture, guess without proof), such a matter; base
of which is not upon the fact, but is only a random guess.
Rafa-‘a - (took up), rafa’ means ‘to take up, to elevate’.
It was declared in the previous
lesson that the Jews and some other people who
disagree concerning Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him), are in doubt thereof.
When the people entered in the house of Jesus (peace be upon him) with the
intention of his slaying, at that time, a person entered first, then other
people entered in the room. They saw only one person there, whose face looked
them entirely like Jesus (peace be upon him). They killed him. After that, when
they observed minutely, they began to say, “His face is like Jesus (peace be
upon him), but his hands and feet are like our companion, who entered first
before all of us”. One of them said, “If he was not Jesus (peace be upon him),
but was our companion, then where Jesus (peace be upon him) has gone and if he
was Jesus (peace be upon him), then where our companion has gone?” In short,
they remained in this doubt. Till to-day, they have been publishing their own
opinions. Nobody knows the reality. They set up their own judgments with
conjecture and presumption.
In the next verse, the actual
incident has been disclosed and explained in such clear words that it is
impossible to err in understanding. Allah Almighty says, “They slew him not {Jesus (peace be upon him)}
for certain, but it was happened that Allah Almighty
took him up unto Himself” and the face of their own companion looked like the
face of Jesus (peace be upon him), and they killed him. Allah Almighty
is ever Mighty and Wise. He is Not incapable of doing anything. When there is a
need to do any object, that appears, whether anybody understands it or
otherwise. Then He commanded, “And there is not any one of the People of the
Scripture but believe in him {Jesus (peace be upon him)} before his/her death,
and on the Day of Resurrection he {Jesus (peace be upon him)} will be a witness
against them.
